Heterotrophs

Picture 50 - Here's a picture of my friend Troy and a monkey. The monkey is the heterotroph because it can't make food by itself and eats other things to stay alive.

Organisms in different kingdoms

Picture 48, 49 - Plantae and Animalia. Two different kingdoms. Organisms from each. The Kingdom is split into six groups.

Different types of carbohydrates

Pictures 45, 46, 47 - Rice, Cereal, and Wheat. Carbohydrates are organic compounds consisting of a chain or ring of carbon atoms to which hydrgen and oxygen atoms are attached in a ratio of 2:1 having the generalized formula (CH2O) carbohydrates include sugars, starch anf cellulose.

Homeostasis

Picture 43 - In order to maintain homeostasis during the hot day, my cousins are sweating. Homeostasis is the maintenance of a relatively stable internal physiological environment in an organis. It invovles some form of feedback self regulation.

Picture 44- This picture was taken during the fall. In order to maintain body temperature at a steady rate, my cousin and his friends are wearing light jackets or sweatshirts to keep in their body heat.

Bilateral symmetry

Picture 41 - This is a picture of a leaf. When looked at vertically it is the same exact design on both sides. This leaf was found in my aunt's house. It's a house plant. I don't know what it's called.

Picture 42 - This is another leaf that possesses bilateral symmetry. Bilateral symmetry is when a body design has the right and left halves mirroring each other and have the same images. A bilaterally symmetrical body plan has a top and a bottom, known as the dorsal and ventral portions of the body.

ATP

Picture 39 - Within this plant, the process of photosynthesis is taking place. In order to carry out this process, the plant uses ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This gives the plant energy to carry out its life functions. The picture was taken at my grandma's house.

Picture 40 - This is a picture of a flower. This picture was taken at the park. ATP is a nucleotide consisting of adenine, ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups; ATP is the energy currency of cellular metabolism in all organisms. ATP is helping this flower live.

Autotroph

Picture 37 - This is a picture of an autotroph. It is a plant that was seen at my grandma's house. Autotrophs are able to make food for themselves through the process of photosynthesis. They take in sunlight and water, and carbon dioxide to change it into a useable food scource.

Picture 38 - This is a picture of an autotroph as well. This plant was from outside by a park. It is able to build all the comlex organic molecules that it requires as its own food scource.

Different Biomes

Picture 35 - This is a picture of a stream. In this stream exists crustaceans, amphibians, reptiles, and many more animals. Animals also come by this stream to drink from it. A biome is one of the major terrestrial ecosystems, characterized by climatic and soil conditions.

Picture 36 - This picture was taken from the roof top of a building. Birds and other mammals live in these trees. It is a biome and provides its own ecosystem to its inhabitants.

Phloem

Picture 33 - What I aimed for in this picture was the stem in the center of the picture that is running diagonally across the picture. This picture was taken in the park. Phloem is a food conducting tissue basically composed of sieve elements, vasrious kinds of parenchyma cells, fibers, and sclereids.

Picture 34 - This is a picture of the stem as well. Inside this stem exists phloem which is responsible for bringing all the nutrients gathered in the roots around the plant. This picture was taken in the park.

Cambium

Picture 31 - Cambium is a layer of delicate meristematic tissue between the inner bark or phloem and the wood or xylem, which produces new phloem on the outside and new xylem on the inside in stems and roots, originating all secondary growth in plants and forming the annual rings of wood.a layer of delicate meristematic tissue between the inner bark or phloem and the wood or xylem, which produces new phloem on the outside and new xylem on the inside in stems, roots, etc., originating all secondary growth in plants and forming the annual rings of wood. This picture was taken in a nearby park.

Picture 32 - This picture was taken close to the picture above. The bark has been removed from this tree. Inside this removed bark and wood existed the cambium.

Niche

PIcture 27 - This is a picture of a spider and its web. A niche is the natural habitat of an animal.
This picture was taken by my grandma's house.

Picture 28 - This is a picture of fish. They are living in a pond and it is their natural habitat. The niche an organism occupies is the sum total of all the ways it utilizes the resources of its environment. A niche may be described in terms of space utilization, food consumption, temperature range, approriate conditions for mating, requirements for moisture, and other factors.

seed dispersal

Picture 25 - This is a picture of a butterfly. It was taken while I was walking around outside my grandma's house. Seeds can be dispersed through animals like this because after this butterfly is done feeding on the nectar of the flower, the seeds from the flower might cling onto the butterfly's leg and then brush off somewhere else.

Picture 26 - This is a picture of the flower floating along the water was taken near by a pond. This picture shows that seeds can also be dispersed through water. Water can bring seeds to various areas and spread the species wide and far.

Cuticle layer of a plant

Picture 22 - This picture was taken at my grandma's house. It is a picture of the cuticle layer of a plant. The cuticle layer of a plant is a waxy coating that helps prevent desiccation which is plants losing water to air.

Picture 22 - This is also another plant that belongs to my grandma. Unlike their freshwater ancestors, most land plants have only limited amounts of water available. As an adaptation to living on land plants developed this cuticle layer.

Genetic Variation Within A Population

Picture 21 - This is a picture of two different colors of the same species of flower. These flowers were found near a pond. This shows genetic variation within a population of flowers.

Picture 22 - This picture was taken on the side of a road. My cousin is standing in front of a population of flowers. They are all the same species but have different colors showing that there has been some variations in their genetic makeup.

Flower Ovary

Picture 19 - This is a picture of a flower that was found in the park outside my aunt's home. This picture shows the flower ovary of this flower. The lower part is known as the pistil and the ovary matures the seeds to bear fruit.

Picture 20 - This is another picture of a flower that was found near the first picture. After fertilization, the ovule develops into a seed in the ovary. Sometimes the seed will develop into a fruit, depending on the type of seed.

Anther and Filament of stamen

Picture 17 - This is a picture of a flower with its filament sticking out. The stalk is the filament and the anther bears pollen. Each stamen consists of an anther and filament. This flower was found in a local park.

Picture 18 - This is another picture of the anther and filament of a stamen. The stamen is the male structures of the flower. The filament can't really be seen clearly here, but the long white stalks coming out of the flower and its petals is the filament and the anther is at the other end of the filament. This flower was found in the same park I found the white flower in.

Xylem

Picture 15 - This is a picture of a branch snapped in half. Inside this branch is vascular tissue. This tissue includes two kinds of conductiong tissues. One of these conducting tissues are xylem. Xylem conducts water and dissolved minerals.

Picture 16 - This is the picture of a tree trunk. It was taken by a building. Through this trunk the xylem would transfer water and dissolved minerals to the leaves and branches of the tree.
